Home Based Business The Key To Flexible Working For Recession Mums

July 22, 2012 - PRLog -- The vast majority (85 per cent) reported that flexibility within a full-time role is their ideal, and almost half of the respondents said that they had gone as far as looking into business opportunities as a means to achieve an acceptable work/life balance, although many more had considered it.  Women’s enterprises already contribute £70 billion to the UK economy and with an average of 15 years’ work experience and a whole range of valuable skills to offer, many see women as the key to leading the country out of the recession.  A new website, www.awebbusiness.co.uk, could be just what these women need to get them moving in the right direction, as well as to solving the perennial flexible working issue.

When it comes to thoughts of setting up a home based business, working mums are faced with a real Catch 22 situation.  Their already full schedules are what drive their need for flexibility, but at the same time they are also what make it difficult, if not impossible, to find the time to scrape together all the information that they need to take advantage of business opportunities.  Whilst all the information is out there, before the resources at awebbusiness.org came into existence there was no single resource to bring all the fundamental tools together in a way which is easy to follow and can be worked through at the user’s own speed.  Even researching the basics of setting up an Internet business can prove impossibly time-consuming, and for most busy mums their plans to work from home are simply shelved in the face of other considerations.

The designer of the Pathways course, a former nurse who was forced to leave her profession after a tragic car accident, came up against the issues of information overload and too much irrelevant information in the course of setting up her own Internet marketing business.  After spending inordinate amounts of time and money trying to get to the crux of what was needed to get her started, she developed the Pathways programme to help others like her, and so focuses in no-nonsense detail on laying out the precise steps that any budding Internet entrepreneur needs to follow.  The result is a course which acts as a complete guide to setting up a range of online businesses, including everything from registering the business and building a website to running an information marketing business or online store.

The website, awebbusiness.org, and the Pathways programme have been developed to provide those seeking online self-employment opportunities with a complete guide to every aspect of the process, regardless of their starting level or background.
